It is interesting Gibo that the last time your God saved the earth he killed so many.
Every animal on earth bar a few, every human bar his mates, I will take my chances thanks.
We are in trouble, fuel and food alone are going to pull the economy down, but we will find new fuel.
And we will grow more food.
Just ten years ago we paid farmers in some parts of the world not to grow food.
And we still pay some for food that stands unsold.

Wayne Smith come Kerry Shine seems to be an egotist of empty vessel proportions.Were you trying to playing the court jester who failed and now are relegated to poncing around cyberspace as the village idiot?Your problem is Wayne,you have just enough intelligence to be a nuisance,but not enough to make a difference.

Phillips"All booms bust,all busts boom"True to a degree.Under the Howard /Costello team,they took us through the Asian crisis and the recession of the late 90's in the US and Europe.Now the present crisis we will not escape,however the reaction of the present Labor Govt so far is apalling.They have no made no attempt to confront the reality.It is not business as usual.We have more urgent needs than their perceived glamour of being climate change Crusaders.

It would be more re-assuring if this present Labor Party had just bit more talent.Kevin is acting like a child granted his every wish in a toy shop.He does not know which one to select,nor does he care about the cost to his parents.He cannot believe his luck.Every opportunity is a photo shot for Kev's ego.If Kevin cannot see what we see,then how can he make sound judgements for the benefit of all Australians?

Usual Suspect.
God reveals Himself to men and women and children everyday and all day.
Where have the non-believers been that they dont know whats been going on?
Some christians say as many as 40,000 worldwide come to know Jesus each day.
Christians are out there in the harvest field all of the time leading people to Christ.
When a person invites Jesus in, sincerely, God Sends His Holy Spirit and the person comes to know God because His Spirit now dwells within that person.
Try some sites on Johns Revelation if you want to know more.
<the signs that we are in the endtimes> is good.
The programme reads...
1. the rise of the antichrist (mark of the beast 666) probably in Europe...
2. the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation period and all of its horrible events...
3. the antichrist and his False Prophet (One World Church leadership) kill many people who dont take the mark/microchip on either the right hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16-19 and 14:9-11)...
4. China gets tired of the antichrists mad behaviour and marches out to Armageddon killing 2 billion people along that road (Revelation 9:16 and 16:12/the kings of the east)...possible southern movement of that vast 200 million soldier army down int0 Australasia.
OZ Defence not ready (would they ever be!).
Half the nation lost to Red army...
5. the Second Coming of Jesus Christ...
and anywhere in that 7 year period the christians can suddenly vanish...leaving the non-christians behind to face the end.
This is called the Rapture of the church...Jesus protecting His people from the horror.
Too bad if you dont know Jesus, chaps, on that wonderful Day when the christians go home.

I think that posting this topic has been a waste of time and effort.Few have addressed the issues and most go off in their own tangent of irrelevance.It is time to depart.
